William H. Macy, who plays Cutkosky's deadbeat dad on the series, defended the teen, declaring it is difficult to grow up in the spotlight.

"He's great. He's a great kid," Macy told PEOPLE Now. "I'm gonna kick him in the butt when I see him, because I was there when he was trying to pick out which car to get," Macy shared.

"I did tell him, 'Don't get a hot car because trust me, it's hard to keep your foot off the accelerator, and you're young and dumb and the cops are looking for you,'" he continued. "I lectured him about all that stuff, but people make mistakes, and nobody got hurt."
